A lot of you may have noticed a number of ads on the side for a company called TEMU . Avoid like the plague it is a scamsite designed to get your details

[Skamp]

No they're not.  I've bought a few items from them.

Don't expect the best of quality or fast shipping but for cheap and cheerful stuff, it's OK.

 

I buy my car wax from them.  Look for ones that offer a showroom shine. Excellent for less than a tenner.

hmmm. the clue's in your name though, Skam-p

My mum's card got done buying through Temu. BUT, I have bought direct from them with no issues. There does seem to be issues when people buy through link on pages or through Facebook for example, go direct.

Definitely not a scam site. It's like wish or Ali express. Products are cheap for a reason but good enough 

Never had any non deliveries.

Although I've seen what Holmesfield has written. Some links etc definitely don't take you to the genuine temu site. Pity Google etc cannot be bothered to prevent scammers from doing this

So it seems a legit site if you go direct.

But thanks anyway @lobster for thinking about us.

 

It could be a good idea to have a thread, where sites can be verified as legit or not, just an idea, maybe a daft one but an idea all the same 🤪

Skamp is now off to put a deposit on a brand new car.  No longer needs the car wax 😀

Appreciate you thinking of folks Lobster, my missus uses it quite a lot... As I usually trip up over the shit load of parcels near the front door when I come home!

[HoylandOwl]

Well, don't linger over them then. 🙂

The problem I find with the adverts are the scantily clad birds in some of them when wifey is looking over my shoulder and asking WTF I'm looking at.

Like the one just now on my mobile. 😂

[Andyben]

[HoylandOwl]

Poor execution of your joke there...

[Andyben]

True.

Just digging out a bikini shot of Cardi B instead....

But on the plus side...

When she catches you on the porn sites, you can just say,  "what can I do, its that site with the adverts again"

What do I say, if my husband looks over my shoulder, when they've just popped up on my phone? 🙂
